I'm in New Hampshire now, but long ago I lived in Kentucky and that much snow would shut us down for a week at least. Now we have 25-30 inches and we will be back in business tomorrow. At least we had today.
We're iced in here in Virginia and it's a good thing because I just finished some natalya mitts and I love them. I'm going to love having them in the grocery store where I always freeze. Thanks for the great pattern. Jane
LUCKY! In chicago, we never shut down anything, and have to trudge through the whole mess- the worst part is the few days after where the snow is then gray. bleck. happy knitting time!
Thought I'd let you know a second pair of Natalya's turned into mittens. I continued in pattern until they were long enough, decreased over 6 rows down to 5 stitches, ran the tail through the stitches and pulled tight. Basically the same for the thumb. They're tighter than most mittens which means I can use my hands more.

In DC we got 4" which is enough to shut the city completely down for a few days lol! Stoke up your fire and have Paul pull out the vino!

I hold in my right hand! I am going to try to give the purl the extra tug - I only think of that with DPN's.
